Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the woman ran a red light at the intersection of Henderson Street and Lancaster Avenue before merging onto Interstate 30.

Enright said officers pursued the vehicle to U.S. Highway 287 and Wilbarger Street.

Update July 14:

Police found marijuana in the Arlington home of a man who died of heart failure after fatally shooting an acquaintance in his garage Wednesday.

While investigating the shooting, police noticed the “strong scent of fresh marijuana” and saw multiple mason jars filled with a “green leafy substance” in David Stephenson’s home, according to a Arlington Police search warrant.

His wife, Margarita Stephenson, would not allow police to search the home immediately after the shooting, according to the search warrant. Police later found marijuana when they searched the house after obtaining the warrant, police spokeswoman Tiara Richard said in an email.

The department declined to say Tuesday afternoon how much marijuana investigators found or whether they believe it was intended for sale or personal use.

Initial reports suggested that David Stephenson shot an intruder. But now his wife and police say the two men knew each other.

Burleson police say this man was taking inappropriate photographs of women without their permission

Burleson police are asking for help identifying a man they say took inappropriate pictures of women without their permission.

The first incident occurred at the Walmart near Wilshire Boulevard and Hidden Creek Parkway in March. The other occurred in June at a Sam’s Club in the 600 block of Burleson Boulevard.

The suspect is a white man in his 20s or 30s with a beard and glasses.

Terrell Hill, 24, was found guilty of animal cruelty for beating and pouring scalding water onto Riley, a Shepherd mix that was only a few months old at the time.

Hill could serve five years in prison if he violates terms of his probation, according to a release from the Tarrant County district attorney’s office.

“We made a vigorous appeal to the jury for prison time for Mr. Hill for the cruel, callousness of his crime,” prosecutor Ashlea Deener said, “and we believe he should have been incarcerated.”

Riley, who has undergone months of treatment and recovery, was brought to the courtroom to meet jurors this week. Veterinary technician Keli Brace, who testified during the trial, has adopted the dog.

Deener said she’s glad Riley has a good home now.

“The bright side here is that Riley is doing so well and has found a loving and compassionate home,” she said. “His kind and happy spirit is a true testament to the unconditional love of which animals are capable,” she said.
